Marine Corps officials identified Lance Cpl. Alberto Lopez yesterday as the 20-year-old Kaneohe man who died on the scene of a motorcycle accident on the Pali Highway early Friday morning.

Police said Lopez was driving a yellow 2004 Suzuki in the Kailua-bound lanes on the windward side of the Pali Tunnel at about 12:36 a.m. when he veered to the right side of the road and struck a concrete barrier. Lopez, who was wearing a helmet, was thrown from the motorcycle and landed in the drainage ditch next to the barrier, police said.

Police said speed appeared to be a factor, but it was not clear if alcohol was involved.
